A good friend to the MFIA Owner Forum members as well as most multifamily investors is my good friend from NorthMarq Capital, Kevin Jenkins. Kevin and I discuss how to get deals funded and what you need to know about funding options when you are sizing up a deal.

Look Mom, No Financing - and Other Things Investors Never Want to Hear with Kevin Jenkins

As a multifamily investor, you need to know what financing options are available to you. Kevin is the go-to guy for your financing needs. Kevin works as the underwriter and has seen it all. You need to remember that the lender is not only protecting themselves, but they are also protecting you. If your pricing doesn't match up with the financing, you shouldn't force as a deal and as Kevin has seen, it can end in disaster.

Bill Manaserro came off the mission field in Haiti to begin investing in multifamily property. After this interview, I bet he wishes he was back in Haiti. Let me just say that one of the two of us was incredibly irreverent. And it wasn't the Reverend. Be prepared for another laugh riot on the Multifamily Investing Podcast.

This is when Joe decided to start investing in multifamily.

Doug Benson and his lovely wife Debby are case studies in why I say that.
